Abstract
This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of elasticity and presents the application of continuum mechanics to modelling biological soft tissue and bone. The microstructure of tissue is examined and commonly-used constitutive relations presented. The chapter then continues by examining wave propagation in biological tissue, as well as providing further details pertaining to ultrasound imaging techniques. Finally, extensions to standard elasticity models that incorporate viscoelastic effects and the coupling between a porous solid and an interstitial fluid are briefly presented.
